button.
If you are a valid user, Pinnacle will allow you to log in.
Pinnacle will then display either the main Pinnacle window, or the Pinnacle Quick Start window.
Pinnacle Main Window
From the Pinnacle Main window, you can select any of the Pinnacle Modules that you have access to. You can open more than one module at once by switching back to the main window and selecting another module. You can also use the Module Quick Access Bar within Pinnacle to open another module.
The Pinnacle Quick Start window allows you to quickly access some of the most commonly used features of Pinnacle.
Pinnacle Quick Start window
From the Pinnacle Quick Start window, you can choose from a range of frequently used features from all the different modules of Pinnacle. You can choose to make the Quick Start menu the default starting window, which means that you will see the Quick Start menu instead of the Pinnacle Main window when you first log in to Pinnacle.
